Take care of government accommodation – Ndeitunga

NAMIBIAN police chief inspector general Sebastian Ndeitunga has called on police officers to take care of the accommodation the government provides them with.

He said this on Monday during the official handing over of eight flats at Katima Mulilo, in the Zambezi region.

Sanzila Court, which will mostly accommodate married officers, comprises seven three bedroom flats and one two bedroom flat, each with an open-plan kitchen and parking bay, as well as a guard room and caretaker unit.

The flats were bought from the Muadinohamba Family Trust for an undisclosed amount.

Ndeitunga said some members of the police who are accommodated in government quarters are not taking good care of these facilities, and urged officers who would be accommodated at Sanzila Court to avoid vandalising the property.

“This will enable us to utilise the facilities for a long time, even for the generations to come. They will be proud of you as their predecessors,” he said.

Ndeitunga said they saw it fit to prioritise married police officers, because staying in barracks not only inconveniences them, but also jeopardises the integrity of the family unit.

“This does not imply those who are unmarried are not considered. It is the government’s policy to ensure that no one is excluded. Hence, we remain resolute to improve living conditions,” he said.

Minister of home affairs, immigration, safety and security Albert Kawana, who attended the event, urged regional commander Marius Katamila to inspect the facilities on a regular basis.

He said this would ensure defects and breakages are detected and repaired without delay.

“In addition, unnecessary water bills should be avoided, and those who cause wastage should pay. In this regard clear rental contracts should be drafted with the assistance of the Office of the Attorney General to avoid legal disputes,” he said.
